On St. Patrick's Day the seventeenth from New York we set sail.

"The Evelyn" our brig was named belonging to MacLean.

And with courage brave we plowed the waves bound down for NFLD.
D G D A D
Now when three days out to our surprise the Captain he falls sick

In short he was not able to take his turn on deck
D A D A
The fever raged which made us think that death was close at hand,
G D G D A D
So we bore away from Halifax bound down for Newfoundland.

Now at three O'Clock we sighted a light that we were glad to see,

The small pox had been raging; it's what it proved to be,
D A D A
And at four O'Clock in the afternoon as sure as God's command,
G D G D A D
Oh he past away off Arichat bound down for Newfoundland.
